POSTPONED: Paper Bag Destruction Concert: Raphael Montañez Ortiz

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we will need to postpone this event. Please stay tuned for updates!

Join El Museo del Barrio and artist Raphael Montañez Ortiz for a Paper Bag Destruction Concert, a special interactive performance inspired by his legendary Explode this Bag action, first staged in London in 1966. This participatory piece will invite the audience to blow up and burst air-filled paper bags in a cathartic, collective experience.

The event will be preceded by a reception in El Cafe. Las Galerías will remain open until 8pm to explore El Museo’s on view exhibition Raphael Montañez Ortiz: A Contextual Retrospective.
